It was bound to happen. Several people I know already called it “Linens-N-Shit,” a well-known hot spot for people who were helpless to recognize that they needlessly wanted to buy things they didn’t actually need. And now, The Onionhas dedicated an entire article to the retailer.

Erich Vieth is an attorney focusing on consumer law litigation and appellate practice. He is also a working musician and a writer, having founded Dangerous Intersection in 2006. Erich lives in the Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, where he lives half-time with his two extraordinary daughters.

Dan: Maybe the Onion saw this as their last opportunity to to smack LNT around before it disappears. Actually, from your link it appears that they will be closing fewer stores than they anticipated. This suggests that there is still a strong demand for unnecessary things.
